Lebanon in 1 Kings 7
LEB-uh-nun
This place shows up in 1 Kings 7:2: “For he built the House of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was one hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
1 Kings 7:2
“For he built the House of the Forest of Lebanon. Its length was one hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.”
What kids can learn
When you hear lebanon in 1 Kings, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read 1 Kings 7:2 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
